#24Heh, I used this a bunch of times. It did work just fine, I had all sorts of people following me who really shouldn't care about me. And now I have 0 followers.

And the command now gives "internal server error"

#26Wondering if there will be repercussions for people using this, or if they are able to track it? They aren't able to keep a lot of logs due to the volume.
They are at least able to tell if you've used it--my account just lost all its followers. http://twitter.com/sjwalter
I'd had a legitimate 30ish followers, used this bug a few times, now 0.

#27Is it broken now? Both followers and follow count is 0 now?!

#28amazing. They found out, it seems: right now everyone seems to have 0 following and 0 followers.

#29Wow, this works. SnoopDogg is now following me: http://twitter.com/snoopdogg . I'm the cartoon figure.
Bad plan to try this out with an account you value - if they can identify who has used the exploit they will probably ban you when the dust settles.
Is it an exploit or is it a valid command? I don't think we hacked anything, we just typed in some text that causes people to follow us, for all we know that's a new feature of twitter.
